“I am delighted that we have been able to attract someone with Tony's credentials and wealth of experience to this role. As everyone knows, this is a hugely important and challenging position in Scottish football, one which comes with a great deal of pressure, and I am absolutely certain that Tony will be an asset to the organisation and the game.

“I would also like to thank Vincent for his excellent work during his three years with the Scottish FA. On behalf of the staff and colleagues at the Scottish FA I would like to wish him the very best in his future plans.”
